Allowing twin sidedraft nowadays a good way of making car more competitive against Avengers etc. Incidentally, no vented front discs homologated either, but CTCRC seem quite free with braking regs.  |
I thought as much, 'cos I well remember Plum Tyndall racing his Mexico in Gp1 and it had a blue printed engine etc. to try and keep up with the Boyd's Capri's and the Hunter GLS and stuff, but still ran on a 32/36.
I did my driving test in a Holbay Hunter (it had 40s standard) so I was reasonably familiar with what could be done in those days. at 17yo you tend to be into that. My Dad has bigger carbs than your Dad sort of thing.
I remember an article in CCC called, 'The Hunter they all chased' 'cos the Holbay engine came with a big cam, and webers etc. IIRC it was advertised as 'The Wolf in Sheeps clothing'
They went ok for a mid 70s car.
